"His Majesty King Robert had to ensure that Prince Viserys and you did not have an illegitimate child."
Dani's face turned green and red. She was shocked, ashamed and angry. At the same time, she was extremely puzzled. How did the siblings survive?
With this thought in mind, she asked the same question.
"My cousin didn't send anyone to kill us? I remember that for the past decade, Viserys would often drag me out of bed in the middle of the night to avoid the assassins, or leave the city at night, or hide in the sewers of the slums for days at a time … Could he have been too sensitive? "
"Sigh, I should have seen through Robert's disguise as a hero." The old man sighed painfully and blamed himself. "All this time, I've subconsciously denied a widespread rumor. When Tywin Lannister brought Prince Rhaegar's two children to Robert, he smiled happily."
Was the old man's brain damaged?
They were talking about the assassins, why did they bring up Rhaegar's children?
"As the Usurper, and a collateral Targaryen at that, what's wrong with him being happy when he saw someone helping him get rid of a future threat?" Danny said with a straight face.
"In Westeros, killing children is an extremely shameful thing, and the reason why Robert Byra Theon had so many followers was because of his forthrightness, bravery, pride, and personal charm.
During the War of the Usurpers, there were often captured nobles of the royal faction who were impressed by his forthrightness … How should I put it, before he became king, Robert had a halo that made people worship him, admire him, and be willing to fight for him.
But if it was proven that he killed the two children, his halo would be shattered, and countless people would despise him, leave him, and oppose him.
Tywin Lannister helped him do what he wanted to do but could not, and he received great rewards. In the end, Tywin, who joined Robert's side, became the king's father-in-law. "
After catching his breath for a while, the old man continued, "In the beginning, I did not understand this. I only put all my anger on Duke Tywin. If … if I saw him laughing at the remains of Rhaegar's child, no one in this world could stop me from killing him.
But I was so badly injured that I wasn't at King's Landing.
It was only after I had sworn my allegiance to him that I faintly heard the rumour. At first I did not believe him to be such a man. Robert may have been secretly relieved with guilt, but his chivalry would never have allowed him to laugh over the broken body of an infant. "
"The moment anyone steps onto the throne, they will become different from before," Danny said calmly.
"But someone has become better." The old man looked at her with a burning gaze.
"Because compared to supreme glory, I see more responsibility, heavy responsibility," she said.
"So, you are the true king, and he is not." The old man smiled. His smile was bitter and gratified. "Compared to a stubborn old man like me, Robert prefers having Jaime by his side.
Perhaps in the face of the kingslayer, his usurper would be more at ease.
However, I have seen him secretly order Varys to assassinate you and Prince Viserys a few times.
From then on, I gradually understood that he was far from being as righteous as he appeared to others. That rumor, I … sigh! "
He had already usurped the throne, yet he was still righteous?
Danny was not in the mood to retort.
"Secretly, you said?"
"At the time, the Hand of the King, Jon Ayrin, was a righteous man. He did not agree with killing the children. Robert was unwilling to oppose him directly. After all, apart from being the Hand of the King, Duke Ayrin was also his adoptive father."
In the War of the Usurpers that destroyed the Targaryen Dynasty, Jon Ayrin was the first to raise the flag of rebellion. However, he did not do it for himself.
Because of Prince Rhaegar's "kidnapping" of Lyanna, the "Mad King" Eris wanted Jon Ayrin to hand over Eide Stark and Robert. Before that, the Mad King had already roasted Lyanna's father and eldest brother on fire (so crazy).
Eide and Robert were Jon Ayrin's adoptive sons. Because he did not have a son of his own at his age, he had always raised them as his own.
When he saw that the Mad King wanted the lives of his two adoptive sons, he immediately became the villain. He was known as the best adoptive father in the world of ice and fire.
"Since Robert did send assassins to assassinate me and Viserys many times, why did they fail so many times? Viserys definitely does not have the ability to counter assassinations. "
In fact, in his many years of persecution, Viserys, who was considered normal at first, was forced to go insane.
"Perhaps … there is someone else secretly protecting you," Barristan said thoughtfully.
"Who?"
"Illyrio? I do not know. "The old man shook his head with a bitter smile.
Danny's expression changed. She asked, "You just said that Varys was the one who reported information about me and Viserys to Robert every time?"
"Varys is nicknamed the 'Eight-Clawed Spider'. He is the Chief of Intelligence in the Imperial Council. His methods are astonishing. Nothing in the Seven Kingdoms or on the other side of the narrow sea can escape his eyes and ears. Robert relies heavily on him.
By the way, Varys also served your father for many years.
He was born in Lys and made a name for himself in Pentos as an intelligence dealer. His Majesty Eris knew of his reputation for being good at intelligence work. "
Danny nodded and asked, "Who is the spy among the people around me?"
After a pause, Barristan said, "Jorah Mormont, before you married Khal Drogo, Varys warned Robert that Prince Viserys would use you to exchange with the Horse King for ten thousand Howling Warriors, or the Horse King would personally help him restore his kingdom.
On the day of your wedding, Jorah Mormont, who accepted the King's Landing spy mission, took the initiative to get close to Prince Viserys and swore allegiance to him. He is a shameless spy with no honor. He sells slaves and swears freely. He is not trustworthy at all. "
"Khaleesi, let me kill him," Aggo shouted angrily.
Danny sighed and said to the Blood Alliance Guard, "Aggo, you … let Grey Worm call Sir Jorah. Some things are better explained in person."
The Blood Alliance Guard and the Queen's Iron Guard were her trusted subordinates. Three of the Blood Alliance Guard took turns to guard her while the other two helped her train the Howling Warriors.
After conquering Astapor, except for the Unsullied, almost all the Dothraki slaves were absorbed into Danny's Khalasar.
She had learned from the Manchus in the Red Wasteland and came up with the Eight Banners system. It was not necessarily the same as the Eight Banners of the Manchus because Danny did not understand the military system of the Qing Dynasty. She only changed the name of the "Military Advisor Brigade Battalion".
After establishing a relatively complete system of sergeants, the new centaurs only needed to fill in the gaps.
The original slaves had lost their arrogance. How could they not be obedient?
Her little Khalasar now had more than fifteen hundred people. Excluding the old people, there were about eight hundred adult men. A few hundred more had joined the rebel slave warriors.
The Blood Alliance Guard demarcated a grassland outside the city and built a camp. In addition to daily training, they also patrolled the gate of the slave owner's manor.
As for Jorah, he was helping Danny train the militia.
In theory, Jorah Mormont served as Danny's "Grand Marshal of the Army" position, and the Unsullied commander Grey Worm was also his subordinate.
Whitebeard advised, "Your Majesty, it's best to let the Unsullied tie him up first, take off his armor, and then bring him to see you."
"No, if he wanted to kill me, how many times would he not have the chance?" Danny waved her hand.
Of course, the superior should be suspicious of everyone, but as a human, if they did not even pay a bit of trust, wouldn't it be too sad to live?
About forty minutes later, Jorah, dressed in military attire, was led by Grey Worm to the top of the Great Pyramid.
As soon as he came out of the staircase, the knight found that the atmosphere was a little wrong. The fake attendant who had always disliked him was completely different today. Now the way he looked at him was a little … a little too righteous.
Well, just like how Chen Yongren looked at Liu Jianming on the rooftop.
In fact, Jorah had already discovered the true identity of Whitebeard, but he did not dare to reveal it to Danny because he knew that the other party must know his identity, the identity of a spy.
"Sir Jorah, this is Sir Barristan Selmy, the fearless Barristan, do you know him?" Danny said directly.
Jorah's heart thumped and secretly called the old thief treacherous. Where is the tacit understanding between the two of us?
As if reading his mind, Barristan said coldly, "I don't allow anyone to secretly threaten the safety of Her Majesty the Queen."
Danny seemed to have an illusion in front of her eyes. Barristan coldly said to the bitter Jorah, "I'm sorry, I'm a police officer."
"I …" The strong bear-like knight seemed to suddenly collapse physically and mentally. He looked at Danny bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I've always wanted to be honest with you."
"At this time, you're still talking about being honest?" Barristan sneered.
"You're a traitor. What right do you have to talk about me?" Jorah glared at Whitebeard and persuaded Danny, "Your Majesty, you can't believe this guy. He betrayed the king and prince he was loyal to and turned to the usurper.
King Eris had seven Kingsguard. Except for him and Jaime Lannister, White Bull, Buddhist Sword, Prince Martell, and others all died on the battlefield for the monarch. Obviously, Whitebeard and Jaime are the same kind of people. "
This was too insulting. Jaime Lannister was almost recognized by the Seven Kingdoms as the "most degenerate" and the least chivalrous knight.
And Barristan valued honor the most, especially the honor of being a Kingsguard.
"You are slandering me. In the battle at the Trident River, Prince Martell, Sir Darry, and I were with Prince Rega. The three of them died bravely. I was seriously injured and passed out on the spot. After that, I recuperated for half a year before I could hold a sword again.
What about you?
When I bled for Prince Rega, you stood on the side of the traitor. "Barristan's old face was red as he pointed at Jorah and roared loudly.
"Your Majesty, Jorah Mormont has been betraying your secrets. You followed Drogo back to Horse King City. You were pregnant. Everything you did and said was betrayed by this shameless spy to the Eight-Clawed Spider.
Every piece of information can be exchanged for a large number of gold royals. After you and your brother die, Robert will wash away all the stains on him and return to the Seven Kingdoms in glory. "
Danny thought for a moment and said slowly, "Sir Jorah, you joined Eide Stark to overthrow the Targaryen Dynasty and joined Robert after the war with Barristan. You have your own reasons. I can understand and will not pursue it. We are only talking about the present. "
Whitebeard glanced at the pale Chora and sighed. "Your Majesty, your breadth of mind, depth of wisdom, and benevolence surpass any king in history. It's a pity that some people are not qualified to receive your benevolence."
Jorah also knew that as the captain of the Kingsguard, Whitebeard was clear about all the information he submitted to King's Landing.
There is nothing to say. I will be lenient if I confess!
I hope I can stay for the New Year …
"Yes, I serve King's Landing. Two years ago, when I was a mercenary in Myrtle, Varys' little bird found me … "
